17 Pois o próprio Herodes mandara prender a João e acorrentá-lo no cárcere por causa de Herodias, mulher de seu irmão Filipe (Herodes se havia casado com ela);

18 porque João lhe dizia: Não te é lícito ter a mulher de teu irmão.

17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife; for he had married her. 18 For John said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.
